idk how its all working out but I thought HN and jammin were the same thing just different region/country names. OFNA is a distributor of Hobao and now Hong Nor. I saw Gosch back in july, he still had the x2s(as far as I could tell)
but a friend of mine pitted next to him at the Roar Nats and he had x3 protos, I love my truggy now but if they could just lighten up a little bit it would be sick

I have a x1 crt...what battery tray are you guys using and how are you mounting them

Either Rc monster tray or jammin conversion kit

What throttle and steering servos might one recommend for the Jammin' CRT.5 extended chassis? Need a steering servo that can hold true at high speed while cornering, but not overkill too much. If I use a low profile servo for steering can I run the regular size front brake disc? That would be preferable I think if there's one w/ enough torque.

Just picked one of these up for $145 (engine included, not sure if I'm gonna convert it just yet): http://www.rcdeal.com/modules/stores...m=1007&store=4

Thanks.

I saw that deal posted on OFNA's homepage. Looks like the engine online goes for ~$25 on ebay.

More like $60-$70. The one for $25 is just the opening bid, not buy it now.

Nope. You can't go by Buy It Now listings that are still active. I checked completed auctions that actually sold. You have to sign in to see completed listings.

Highest completed auction that sold was $32 plus $16 for shipping. Item #230576465710

The other two are 110638636976 & 110638636886 that went for $25 and $26 plus $13 for shipping. All three auctions ended this week and were for new engines. A used engine is pretty much worthless.

If it was actually going for $60-70 plus shipping I'd potentially buy a truck just for the chassis and sell the engine. But selling the engine for ~$40-48 shipped minus ebay, paypal, and shipping fee's leaves you with ~$25-33 profit on the engine making the roller cost $112-120 and you still have to get the battery and motor mounts. Cheaper to find a used pre-converted vehicle that'll probably have some upgrades and extras.

Buy it now, listing active $59.99.

Regardless, my original question was about servos, not whether you would buy one or not.

Sorry, I'm not good at typing everything I'm thinking. You won't get that price unless you're an ebay store with 1000's of feedback. Look at the completed auctions for individuals.

But if you have an ebay store, ignore what I said before. I assumed you'd be selling as an individual.

Probably better off just buying a CRT.5 Pro kit version without the engine then. They are on Ebay for $75 plus about $10-20 shipping depending on where you live.

Whatever. Just wanted a servo recommendation. I ended up with Hitec 5645mg on steering and throttle. Works fine. This is a pretty decent little kit and motor combo for $145. Extended chassis was included as well. I have no issues w/ the cheapie motor. It started right up and has plenty of oomph for what I'm doing.

i m using FITEC SERVO, works well!
